two years ago
my dad lost his tooth
to a bowl of fried rice
he said he likes it now
the gap in his smile
a void always left unfilled

My guy, trust me when I say
“I don’t wanna die,” because I don’t
-but, if you thought I did, then
Maybe you’re the kind of someone that
Watches raindrops race each other
To death. Would it be so hard to turn
Your eyes into reservoirs;
Exchange those glances for words because
I don’t know how much longer
I can hold out. I don’t wanna die
But I’m so ******* lonely
That I just might have to cease
To exist
Because no-one knows I do
And honestly neither do I.

How easy it is to run away, to
Overlook three empty cups with two-half
Full. How simple it is to erase an
Entire timeline with a silent tap.
You with your obsidian spoon, too clean
A black, gouge out the splinters that linger
Behind your eyelids. Melt them down with the
Old grandfather clocks - an evanescence
You know will feed you immediate joy.
